People Who Will Get Married.-0n Mon
day last neatly dressed old gentleman from the
western section of the county entered the Clerks
office in the Court House here and told one of the
clerks that he wanted marriage license. The
clerk, believing that he wanted the document for
some other person, put the usual questions as to
age, &C., when the old gentleman said that he was
the man who intended to embark on the matri-
moniaI craft. He then said, in answer to further
questions, that he 80 years of age and that he
had never been married, but that his prospective
bride, whose age he gave as 20 years, had been
married twice before. lie then said that he in
tended to be married in the city, and this being the
case he was informed that the law required him
to procure the license where the ceremony was to
be performed, and that he therefore must get it in
Baltimore. The old gentleman went off satisfied
and doubtless before this time he has paid his
dollar to the State and secured for his bride the
woman of his choice and the one whose matri-
monial career has already been somewhat checker
ed, but none the less happy for that, we hope.
A few days before the occurrence noted above
colored couple from the Sth district went to the
Clerks office, paid their dollar and got mar
rage license. The woman wrote her name in the
book, but the man, whose educational opportuni-
ties had been limited, was obliged to make his
mark. In paying for the license the would
groom displayed small roll of bills and the wide
awake clerk, who wanted to put fee into the
pocket OF some TowsontOwn minister, asked II they
did not intend to be married before they left the
town, telling them at the same time that there
were several ministers here who would be glad to
tie the knot. The couple said they wanted to be
married right off, and the gentleman who had
shown them to the Clerks Office, directed them to
the house of minister, who soon made the twain
one flesh. But when the groom went to pay the
fee all he could find in his pockets through which
he appeared to hunt carefully-was a quarter of
dollar, and this sum he passed over to the preach
er. What he had done with the balance of his
cash between the time of leaving the Clerks Office
and reaching the preachers house, is yet uu-
solved mystery.
